tions cxcejit nortliern Missouri is suj^e- 

 lior to tliat of the 1920 crop because of 

 its better color and smaller percentage of 

 hulled seed. lu southern Minnesota the 

 difference is particularly marked, the 

 1920 crop having been badly hulled. 



Decreases in the production of red 

 clover seed estimated at thirty per cent 

 to forty per cent and of alsike clover at 

 twenty per cent to thirty per cent below 

 the 1920 production arc shown in gov- 

 ernment reports received during the week 

 ending August 27. In almost every im- 

 portant section the acreage cut for seed 

 and the yield per acre are less than last 

 year. Drought and hot weather during 

 the summer were the predominating fac- 

 tors in causing the acreage and yield re- 

 duction, although in some sections winter- 

 killing and ' ' green worms ' ' ( lesser clover- 

 leaf weevils) thinned the stands mate- 

 rially. The harvesting of both red and 

 alsike clover seed began about two weeks 

 earlier than last year, under generally 

 favorable conditions. Much lower prices 

 were being offered to growers than pre- 

 vailed last year and two years ago. 



The production of white clover seed in 

 "Wisconsin this year is estimated to be 

 about one-half as large as the 1920 pro- 

 duction. The acreage cut for seed is 

 the same as last year, according to data 

 obtained by the bureau of markets and 

 crop estimates of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, but the average yield per acre 

 is about fifty per cent less. Growers 

 were receiving $25 to $33 per hundred 

 I)Ounds, basis country run, and $33 to 

 $40 per hundred pounds, basis recleaned, 

 for their white clover seed the last of 

 August. The short crop has given a 

 firmer tone to the white clover market 

 during the past few weeks. Fairly large 

 (juantities of imported white clover seed 

 are coming in, however, and are reported 

 to be offered at $38 c. i. f. New York. 

 The acreage of white clover cut for seed 

 in Idaho this year is less than one-third 

 of 1920, while a slightly increased yield 

 per acre is reported.
